WENIARKS . cn a proposed BILL fOr LORS rithf.r Ijuiveisity eligii)le to lie admit. tcd SOLICITORS oti a Service of Tliree Years' instead of Fine Year, The Stat. -2cl Geo. 11. c. 23. probibiti any person from act ing as An Attorney or Solicitor 'in any of the Courts of Law or Equity in England withoilt, a previous Clerkship of fire years. It is now p►opbsed to bring, a Bill into Parliament to ren der any l►erson eligible azt as an Attorney or -Solicitor, who shall hare taken, or shall take, the Degree of Bachelor of Arts•in either of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, on serving a Clerkship of three years instead of bye years; but leaving the period of service, in general cases the same as the present. It is scarcely nreceisary to observe, 'that this Bill is not to Make a University Education necessary for Solicitors, but merelyto confer eligibility upon those who have had the be nefit of suck an Education. This eligibility they can scarcely be said to possess, while a service of five yehis (which operates as a prohibition) is : required from them, as well as from others. 'The effect of this measure will be to render a respectable and important Profession accessible to men of Education,who would be deterred by the length of service now required from' attempting to entvr into it. And it is conceived thatit particularly benefit the Sons of many Clergythen and others, who put themselves to inconvenience to give their Suns a li beral Education. Besides ttose who think that a liberal Education would be both ian ornament and a substantial advantage to a Solicitor, „ . and with that view wish to send a Son to the University, there are many educated at the Universities with objects, its which, from eircnimstances or unforeseen events, theY are disappointed, who might embrace the Prafession„ and find in it a fit sphere fur the exercise of their abilities and -industry, with advantage to the public and profit to themselves. In general the Degree of A.B. is taken between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-two. A service of three years, com mencing at these ages, may be borne without much inconve nience, and it would be rendered less irksome, from the con sideration, that a person cannot enter into the Church till nearly the time at which such a Clerkship would expire ; hut a service, which requires two years beyond the age of twenty four or twenty-five, makes an inroad into a period of life, which ought not to he spent, and which few arc inclined to spend, in preparations fur a Pi ofession. It is a season when men expect to be actually proceeding in that business of life for which their Education hai prepared them. Many men, taking the Degree of A. 8., would consider the profes sion of a Solicitor very advantageous, and affording an appro priate field for the exercise of their talents, if they could miter the Profession, without the sacrifice of time, which the Law, as it stands at present, requires from all, without distinction of education or age. Perhaps the operation of the proposed measure may not he very extensive, but, so far as it may operate, there can be no reasonable doubt that it will be beneficial to many Members of the Universities, and at the same time give the Profession increased respectability. It certainly cannot be ceutended that a University Education is absolutely necessary fur the profession of a Soli. itor, but it can scarcely be denied, that a person of liberal education ought to have every facility af fortled for availing hiniSelf of any Profession for which his talents qualify him„ and which his particular views or con nections may lead him to choose ; especially at this particular time of peace, when many fields of liOnourable employment are no longer open to cultivation. The measure itself may be of considerable use, and it is di Ilia:It to-conceive that it can do harm. It•cainust deteriorate the Profession, nor introduce men less fitted to perform its duties. At present, Clerks to Solicitors nre generally articled at sixteen or seveuteeu years of age, for five years. Now, there can be no doubt that a person, with those habits of in dustry and application, which, from the strictness of 'the examination at both Universities, are necessary to 'enable him to take the Degree of A. 8., is more likely to acquire a competent knowledge of the Profession, and to become capable of conducting the business of a Solicitor at twenty four or twenty-five years of age, than a youth who, having served a clerkship of f.ve years, commencing at sixteen or seventeen, begins business at the early age of twenty=-one or twenty-two. In the period limited for the Professional Studies of those who are designed for the Bar, the distinction between an Aca demical and a cominpn Education is preserved in the manner proposed by the projected Bill. _ln general cases, before a Law-Student can be called to the Bar, it is necessary that his name shall have.been Five Years on the Books of one of the - Inns-of Conti. unless he shall have ta'sen the Degree of A.M. or B.L. of one of she Universities; in which case, three years is sufficient. If three years, with a University Education, be considered an adequate period to qualify for the Bar, surely a Clership of three. years, with a similar Education, must be sufficient for a Sulicitor.—lt is almost superfluous to advert to tlie.difference_ between the Degrees of A. B. and A. M., as the former• Degree is time real criterion of Academical Proficiency.
